A flower for contemplation


A vase of flowers in a room creates a delicate harmony, to the eye a natural form of beauty.
They dont´t act as a distraction if your reading or meditating. The petals are a gift of colour and beauty, until they fall. It isn´t necessary to have a whole bunch crowded into a vase, where you feel the stress and discomfort and cannot appreciate the beauty. Their life is shorter their array less....far better to have 2 flowers and a stem of leaves arranged in a tall clear glass vase..here the simplicity will add to their ambience, as they perfume the air around us. The contemplation of the flowers creates equilibium and reflexion, they are a key to relaxation and meditation

Reminded me of this.

Don't go outside your house to see the flowers.
My friend don't bother with that excursion.
Inside you body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty inside the body and out of it, before gardens and after gardens. (Kabir)
